KBShimmer ~ Vicious Circles

After my first experience with KBShimmer, I needed to try it again. The
first one I tried was “Don’t Teal Anyone”,
and I was really impressed. So I bought a couple more, and Vicious Circles was
the one that wanted to be worn first!

So: this is a jelly, and that is not my favourite finish. I was drawn by
the nice red colour and the shiny glitters though. I applied two coats and was
almost satisfied. I knew from earlier that jellies have problems looking good
on pictures with only two coats, so I decided to add an extra layer. It’s an
easy glitter to apply. I didn’t fish for it, I just applied whatever came up on
the brush. Drying time is pretty average – not super fast, not super slow.

I applied a layer of topcoat, and my mani was done. Do you want to see
it? Here you go:

KBShimmer’s shop describes this polish as blood red, but I don’t know
anybody with blood this colour. It’s red alright, and juicy looking!

And the glitters don’t have problems popping, that’s for sure. That’s a
thing jellies can do: Make glitters pop.

I didn’t quite know what to do with this, so I decided to keep it as it
was here. I considered a small stamp, but no, I think it’ll be too messy.

What’s the verdict, I hear you ask. I am not quite sure, to be honest. I
mean, I do like the colour, I really like red polishes. But there’s something
about it that isn’t quite right, and I cannot put my finger on what it is!

I’m not quite ready to let this polish sit in my box of shame, but we’ll
see how long it gets to stay in my stash.

Oh, you are wearing a glitter today - that is a rare sight ;)But it's a truly gorgeous one - and yes, it's interesting how flash light can penetrate jelly/crelly polishes and make them look partially bald...
